San Mateo County Superior Court Multi-Option ADR Project ('MAP")

EVALUATION BY NEUTRAL

In accordance with Local Rule 3.905(c), please submit evaluations within 10 days of completion of the ADR process.

MAP staff and committees use this confidential information to assess the impact on the court, to track quality, to provide feedback to neutrals and to inform our decisions regarding redesign of program procedures. Other staff and trial judges do not see specific evaluations. This information will be aggregated for blind statistical reports to the Judicial Council, the Court and the community.
